I deleted that unread I'm afraid; one of the reasons that you should use
subject lines matching the styles for the subsystems is that it's one of
the things people use to filter out things that actually need attention,
if things are busy things that at first glance don't look terribly
relevant (like changes to the OF core in this case) are likely to get
looked at less urgently or just skipped.

A quick glance suggests that this is adding code inside the SPI core so
it's still not explaining why anything is being exported, can you
clarify please?

This is a single, standalone SPI patch - you didn't send it as part of a
series (which is the only reason I read it).
